Hi

Good to see your pics. You all look really well and look like you are having a great time.

Can't believe the kids actually stayed still long enough to have a massage.

I'll hopefully try to Skype you tomorrow. I'm off work (my normal day off, not skiving!). So I'll try and catch you when you are online. I've missed you all week by the time I've got in from work.

Ellas message to Auntie Gill is 'I love you'. She misses you all. We all do.

Will speak to you tomorrow.

Bye for now.

Hi all

Love your Photos I feel as if I'm there too. Hope Daisy's OK after Louis having her in a head lock. Enjoy your adventure. Take care. Auntie Gill

Hello all.Wow that hotel room is fab all that space and a fridge, freezer and washing machine as well.As you said its more like an apartment isn't it.Hope you manage to get the reduced rate though as £50 per night is a bit steep isn't it?Ha Ha!!Started to get intrigued about the magic salt cellar so tried to look it up on the internet when I realised I wasn't sure how to spell cellar either so I went to ebay and looked for "Salt" thinking there would be many for sale.There were but not a cellar in site there was - shaker, cruet, pots and a set but not a cellar in site!! So the trusty Griffin Dictionary was put to the test and, no, there wasn't one in there either.So back to the internet and it seems it can be spelt celler, or cellar but unfortunately there was nothing about the "Magic one" so I'm none the wiser!!!Have to ask Lisa laterLook forward to seeing your next lot of photos.The web cam/Skype is so good.It makes us feel like you are not so far away.Infact Aunty Rita reminded me that we have seen and spoken to you more since you went than we would have done if you had been here!! True but we still miss you all. Love to the kids - didn't get much chance to speak to them this morning what with Daisy Chimping around and Louis entertaining himself pulling faces into the camera!!Seems like they're doing great.Enjoy yourselves today.Speak soon.Love n hugs n kisses Mum

Hello there,

Just checked the photos - looks like you are having a great time. I have to ask if you packed all the right clothes or have you already been on a shopping spree?

Our Ian his girlfriend and your mum and dad came around for a birthday bbq last night - I was not too sure if it was going to be warm enough to sit out but with the help of the cheminee, a glass or two of wine and of course our "sitting out" coats we were almost glowing by the end of the evening. (Not sure if it was the wine or the stories our Ian was telling us about the "muppets" he works with. I think he could write quite an amusing book maybe call it "A day with the Muppets".

Ian said you had given him a call to wish him "Happy Birthday" in view of the time difference that was a nice surprise.

Although the sun is shining at the moment it is back to work for some of us.

Take care love to the babiesxx

Auntie Rita and Ian.

hi guys, just looked at your fantastic photos, you all look like you are havin a ball!when i told someone about the daisy/ paparazzi style photographs, they said you should start charging per picture!
